Seed germination and vigor.
Germination vigor is driven by the ability of the plant embryo, embedded within the seed, to resume its metabolic activity in a coordinated and sequential manner. Studies using "-omics" approaches support the finding that a main contributor of seed germination success is the quality of the messenger RNAs stored during embryo maturation on the mother plant. In addition, proteostasis and DNA inte...
متن کاملReview: Plant Growth Hormone Cytokinins Control the Crop Seed Yield
This review chronicles the development of the cytokinin research during the last 30 years. Cytokinin and auxin are the two major plant growth hormones that control virtually all aspects of growth and development in higher plants. The pathways for cytokinin biosynthesis and metabolism have been characterized by the identification of isopentenyl pyrophosphate transferase, cytokinin oxidases, cyto...
متن کاملStandardization of Seed Vigor Tests
The last 30 years have led to increasing dissatisfaction by seed producers and consumers with the standard germination test as the sole criterion of seed performance potential presented on a seed label. As a result, new seed testing techniques have been formulated known as seed vigor tests that provide more sensitive measures of seed quality. The ISTA and AOSA Vigor Test Committees have been at...
متن کاملGenetic Modification for Improving Seed Vigor Is Transitioning from Model Plants to Crop Plants
Although seed vigor is a complex physiological trait controlled by quantitative trait loci, technological advances in the laboratory are being translated into applications for enhancing seed vigor in crop plants. In this article, we summarize and discuss pioneering work in the genetic modification of seed vigor, especially through the over-expression of protein L-isoaspartyl methyltransferase (...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of seed priming effects on seed germination, seedling emergence and crop yield: Iranian studies
A large body of research has documented the effect of seed priming ongermination, emergence and crop yield. In such research, seed priming has beenfound to have a positive, negative or no effect. Meta-analysis can help tosummarize and interpret a collection of experiments. The aim of this study was toconduct a meta-analysis to synthesize published data from studies addressing theeffect of seed ...
